Arrived!

Hello All,

I’ve made it safely to Ireland, with only a few complications due to weather. I’ve been here for just over a day now and again struck by the beauty of the land and the warmth of the people. My first day here I spent a few hours sitting outside in the town of Athlone just soaking in the sun and clean air. It was a good time to just sit and relax shaking off the old to allow room for the new. Then that night I enjoyed dinner and prayer with a mission team that was leaving the next morning. We sat around and discussed what God was doing in their lives and in Ireland. I was left speechless and in tears quit a bit as I heard about the amazing things God is doing through these people in OM.

I still haven’t received the most recent update on where I am at in raising support for this mission trip but I believe I am about $2,000 short of the financial goal. In looking at that number it would only take 20 families/individuals committing to giving $20 a month for the next 5 months to complete that goal. Please pray and see if you might be able to be one of the families or individuals that would be able to commit to helping this mission by giving $20 a month. Or if you are interested in giving a one time sum that would be 20 families/individuals willing to give $100. Also be prayerful about who else might be interested in be coming a part of supporting this ministry in Ireland. I would love to be able to chat with them if they have any questions. As always I can be reached through email ckominar@hotmail.com and my blog is at www.irelandmissionary.blogspot.com
If you feel called to give there are two ways you can send in your contributions. By check through the mail and by card over the internet. My missionary code is 2271902, it is important for both the checks and the internet contributions to have this number on them so the funds are directed to the correct mission. The website to give is: https://usa.om.org/GiveOnline
Please send the checks to:
Operation Mobilization
ATTN: Hilary Thomas
PO Box 444
Tyrone GA, 30290
Thank you for all your prayers as I was traveling to Ireland, as we can see they were a blessing as I have arrived safely even with ash clouds and rain storms! Please continue to pray for the work here in Ireland. As there is much work to be done! I am quickly brought to think of Matt 9:37: Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

  1. So glad you made it safely! Did all your luggage arrive at the same? :)

  2. yes, my luggage came with me. Ive learned the airports are very strict about the luggage being on board your plane, incase its a bomb. The gate agent was talking about it while in Newark. If someone checks luggage and does not make it on, the luggage will be removed for safety reasons.

  3. Oh that's good airports are so strict about luggage. For you and for the safety of everyone on the planes!!
    How are you doing so far? Still a bit jet-legged? It's always freaky when you gain/lose an entire day(s)!
